LSU started its spring game off on a flashy note.
On the very first play from scrimmage in the exhibition contest, quarterback [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] found a wide-open receiver over the middle of the field in [autotag]Kyren Lacy[/autotag].
It wasn’t the best ball — it was thrown high and a bit in front of him. But Lacy, now in his second year with the program after transferring in from Louisiana, made a fantastic adjustment to the ball.
He reeled in an acrobatic one-handed catch, and what he did with the ball in his hands was almost as impressive as he dodged defenders en route to a 70-yard touchdown to kick off the scoring.

Lacy made 24 catches last year for 268 yards and no touchdowns, but with Kayshon Boutte and Jaray Jenkins heading to the draft, as well as Jack Bech transferring to TCU, he has the chance to see an expanded role this fall.
If he keeps making plays like this, that will almost certainly be the case.
